Fresh off their electrifying show in Toronto, Ontario, Riley Green and Ella Langley have posted a hilarious behind-the-scenes video from their tour bus — and it’s not for the faint of heart.
“What are you gonna do?!” Riley Green asks, half in jest, half in real concern, as he places his injured hand on a makeshift surgery table, complete with kitchen roll and manicure scissors. “I’m gonna cut that off,” Langley responds with a grin, gently holding Green’s palm while preparing to snip away at his blister.
As Langley carefully trims the skin around his injury, Green shares the ‘heroic’ tale behind it. “A kid was tryin’ to cross the street, and I saw a car comin’, so I grabbed him. The kid was holding a baby, and I couldn’t just push him outta the way, so I grabbed the baby instead. I caught the baby with this hand, but I fell. I wanted to cradle… [mimics cradling a baby] and skinned this hand on the curb. But I saved their lives. And the baby was holding a box of kittens, so they all made it too.”
Despite the dramatic retelling, Langley’s amused laugh and head shake, coupled with Green’s playful use of the hashtag ‘#sportsinjury,’ hint that things might not have gone quite as heroically as described — though, of course, Riley Green saving babies and kittens would make for a killer music video.
The video comes amidst months of media speculation over the nature of Green and Langley’s relationship. As rumors of a ‘will they, won’t they’ romance swirl, fans have been questioning whether the two still have the same chemistry. But this fun and lighthearted video puts any doubts to rest. Riley Green and Ella Langley are doing just fine — they’re playful, supportive, and clearly care about each other.
Riley Green has been teasing new, unreleased music on his social media recently and also paid tribute to country music legend Travis Tritt. With the anticipation building, we’re hopeful that new tracks are on the horizon. Green’s Damn Country Music Tour with Ella Langley continues throughout the summer, before he heads off to Europe in September.
